It seems crucial, in this day and age, that we fully understand the conflicts that occurred within our very own country back in the early developmental phases of the United States. If you have done some traveling within our country you can see the differences with your own eyes but you have to wonder how it all came to be. The conflict of the Northern and Southern regions has had a direct influence on the development of our society in the U.S. and continues to do so. The South had a very difficult struggle with its social structure and resulted in a shortage of help and in turn resulted in the buying and trading of slaves who were forced to work on their large plantations. The result of the lack of agriculture in the Northern region gave the Southern some advantages and caused an increased need for trade. They sustained trade with Africa and Indians which is known as “The Triangular Trade”. The South had more of a one-crop-economy which caused a lack of stability in their area since this was directly affected by supply, demand and climate. The Northern region was mainly prosperous, educated, and overall healthy in most cases. This was mainly due to the government that was put in place and the main focus of production and material items. The South did not have the same opportunities as the schooling was limited due to the spread out locations of the people and lack of funding for more schools. Education is the back bone of success in the US. It is quite evident that having two completely opposite ways of life and thinking can lead to a direct influence to how each region viewed the political side of life. The Northern region had the anti-slavery expansion activists known as the Republican party. This group opposed the Southern states which had a dominant group as well known as the Democrats. Both of these parties exist today and are still very opposite in their concepts and methods. I have witnessed the contrast between states myself. An example would be...

...﻿The Differences between the North and South During the Industrial Revolution
During the early 1800s, the United States changed in numerous ways in a little amount of time. The changes that occurred were a result of the industrial development and advancements that took place in the 19th century. Consequently, there were both many positive and negative effects that occurred as a result of these changes. However, these developments affected theNorth and the South in great ways. The differences between the two eventually caused a good amount of tension because they were moving in completely different directions with culture, political views, and economies.
As a consequence of poor farming conditions and a mass amount of immigrants coming into America, the Northern states developed into an economy based on industry and manufacturing. The North was mountainous with rocky soil and rapid rivers. It had long cold winters and mild summers which were not suitable for cash crops such as tobacco, cotton, sugar, rice, etc. They had to focus heavily on industrialization due to the resources they had available to them, such as iron and coal that was abundant.1 Using these resources as an energy source, the North constructed factories that produced textiles, furniture, tools, etc. Since factories were producing a mass amount of goods in a short amount of time, they...

Also McKinley administration returned the prosperity to Americans, raising farm price after 1897.[32] McKinley was nominated again for the 1900s presidential election having a favor the good life in America by his administration. Bryan also was re-nominated to run for president, but he was not more like the election of 1896. The prosperity of America under the administration of McKinley was very strong to beat. McKinley was re-elected President.
During this period American`s society was changed tremendously. After the Civil War, the implantations of great technology like transportation by railroad. This invention helped to growth the US economic at some point. Also, it gave a big depression to American people with the expensive cost. The big companies were destroying smaller business around for power and giving nothing to survive. Carnegie, Rockefeller and Thomas A Edison were the most powerful men of this era. The ability to manage business and to see what will be the next big impact made these men to own America for a period. The Immigration gave cheap workers, and at the same time made immense changes to American’s culture.
The Politic Parties were controlled by big business men. Presidents were elected thanks to Carnegie, Rockefeller and J P Morgan. Democrats and Republicans were the biggest politic parties.

For many years the North and the South tried to live in harmony even though they had opposing views. The North was slowly growing a strong hate for slavery while the South strongly depended on it. So for years they try to avoided confrontation, but the question of slavery still threatened to divide them. You see this in the Missouri Compromise – Maine would enter as a free state and Missouri would enter as a slave state, but in the rest of the Louisiana Territory north of 36’30° slavery was prohibited. After a while both states interpretations were way too different to live under the same roof. Each side felt like they had a strong argument, the North feeling like slavery was unjust and the South feeling it does well for the institution.
In the late 1700s slavery was seen as something that was soon going to die out. This soon took a turn in in 1793 when Eli Whitney created the cotton gin. The cotton gin separated short- cotton from its seeds efficiently. The South became very dependent on this, giving them more of a reason to have slaves. William Harper felt the abolishment of slavery would put an end to the cultivation of the great Southern staple (Doc B). The South is made up of large plantations...

...The Northern and Southern Cultural Differences
During the 18th century differences in life, thought, and interests had developed between the Southern and Northern colonies. The origin of these differences grew from the differences in religion, economics, and social structures between the Southern and Northern Colonies. Slavery, manufacturing, education, and agriculture influenced the everyday way of life for the colonists. This has had everlasting effects on America till this day.
Agriculture and environment were factors in the way each culture grew. The fertile land of the south along with a warmer climate made it possible for the colonists to grow cash crops such as tobacco, rice and indigo. However, this was not the case with the northern colonies. The poor soiled, rocky and, mountain area and long winters made it hard for the colonists to raise enough food to feed there families. This made it necessary for the northern colonists to look their natural resources as a way to make a living. These natural resources included fish, whales, trees, and furs. The southern colonists did not have to develop all their natural resources because the farmland proved to be very reliable and profitable for them.
Trade and manufacturing were ways that the colonist got the English goods they needed. It was also a way that they earned money by selling the products that they had grown, made or acquired. Since...

Slavery in America
Slavery has played an important role in American life today. When North America was first colonized by Europeans, the land was vast, the work was tough, and the availability of manual labor was hard to find. White servants paid for their passage across the ocean from Europe to the New World through indentured labor, but did not solve the problem. In the early stages of the seventeenth century, a Dutch ship loaded with African slaves introduced a solution. These slaves were most economical on large farms where labor-intensive cash crops, such as tobacco, could be grown.
Towards the end of the American Revolution, slavery had been proven to be unprofitable in the North and began to die out. The same institution in the South had become less useful to farmers due to tobacco prices fluctuating and dropping. However, in 1793 Northerner Eli Whitney invented to cotton gin; a device that made it possible for textile mills to use the cotton most easily grown in the South.
The high demand for cotton replaced tobacco as the South’s main cash crop and slavery became profitable again. Although most Southerners did not own any slaves, by 1860 the South’s “peculiar institution” was undoubtedly tied to the region’s economy.
As the North was escaping the ideas of slavery the South was gearing towards it. White Southerners...

...﻿ The North and South had dramatically different regional identities, largely as a result of their settlement histories and economies. The Northern region was the focus of religious freedom and independence movements, and grew into large urban industrial centers. The South region had been settled to grow cash crops, like cotton and tobacco, and grew into large agricultural centers which heavily relied on slave labor. The North and South were deeply divided in the issue of black civil rights, with the North adopting a pro-civil rights stance and the South adopting a pro-slavey stance. The different colonization histories and economics bases of the North and South regions shaped these different views on civil rights for black slaves during 1820 of1860.
The North’s pro-civil rights stance grew as a result of solid economic base in industrialization and their settlement history of religious freedom. While the North’s soil and climate did not favor large plantations, this region did have many natural resources which helped fuel the growth of industrialization and urban areas. As shown in Document A in the “Railroads in 1860,” the North had more than two-thirds of the railroad tracks which made it easier to transport goods and drive the economy. Because this industrial growth...

...Colonial differences from North to South
DBQ
During the 1700’s, many colonies began to show their true differences with one another. Although the colonies were settled by English origin only, the regions became two distinct societies within years. Of the colonies, the Chesapeake and the New England region were strongly diverse. The Chesapeake and the New England regions differed in the 1700’s because of religious debates that had occurred, different motives that were placed when going to the New World, and the different economies that had developed within the colonies.
First, religious debates became a huge distinguishing factor in the two regions. During the 1700’s, Maryland was considered to be a Catholic Haven in the Chesapeake region. Founded by Lord Baltimore in 1634, Maryland quickly became the rescue place for Catholic-English men and women whom faced execution from Protestant England. Faced with death, the Catholics of Maryland stood behind the Act of Toleration that was passed in 1649. In John Winthrop’s document, “A model of Christian Charity”, he describes how each man needs to come together for religion. “God Almighty in his most holy and wise providence hath so disposed of the condition of mankind… we must knot together in this work as one man.”(Document A). In Maryland’s Act of Toleration, the statute guaranteed all toleration to Christians. With the act, Maryland could be Catholic without a word...
